Does the OD have a 4 bolt or 7 bolt side cover? If it is the early 4 bolt type you may have trouble finding a front yoke to match up with your u-joint/driveshaft as the later trucks use a larger u-joint and fine spline yoke. Also it is non syncro in first gear so you probably would not be happy with it in a later truck. I rebuild and install these OD's in older trucks and they hold up fine. I have one in my 56 behind a 350. If you can get the later Saginaw (7 bolt) it would probably be better for your application. It is possible your truck came with a 6 cyl and 308 gears, but probably more likely 350's. Fred
